The Passing of Denny the fish...

I just love that 4 year old imagination!! Read below the email from my sister in law about the recent passing of Cora Beth’s fish Denny…

From me: I heard Denny the fish died. So sad.
Did CB have a funeral and burialtation for him? (explanation: burialtation is a word that I made up without realizing it when my Grandaddy died and I got visitation and burial mixed up. Now it's a common word/joke in our family)

Jaime: Oh she decided we could just flush him down her toilet and she said "He was a good fishy", but then later was worried that he might come back out of the potty... I tried to tell her he was in heaven w/ Jesus and she responded w/ "NO HE IS NOT MOMMY! HE IS DOWN THE TOILET W/ THE POOP!" So we stopped that conversation pretty quickly since it is very hard to explain soul and body to a 4yr old.

Rob took her out that nite and was going to get her another fish, but ended up w/ a 10 gallon aquarium and 4 fish - 1 is black, named Julie; 1 is silver, named Flulie; 1 is orange, named Planter. The other one is orange too and we have put him in w/ Sunny in the little tank till we are sure Sunny is going to make it and CoraBeth said his name is Denny (I guess #2!!). She got to decorate her new tank - she has 3 plants and a log and red rocks in the bottom. It turned out to be a really good looking tank!

Once we know that Sunny is feeling ok we will move him and Denny #2 to the big tank, I guess.... This week has been a riot!

---Don't you love the joy and laughter children bring to a family?! So thankful for this wonderful 4 year old whose imagination goes for days and days!
P.S. - My favorite name is Flulie, very girly! And I am so glad that she kept it going with Denny #2 - can't forget where it all started!
